For starters, it does not touch installing the Database backend, or configuring it in the Django app. I "solved" this by using sqlite, but that is not a workable production solution, as I understand it.

Further, the tutorial only takes you as far as setting up the dev server.

I can create a virtual env, install and create a mezzanine project, and successfully start the test server,

But I cannot deploy, using fabric or anything else so far (I've tried everything here)

I'm not sure what I might be doing wrong, but I've tried configuring and using fabric every which way. Some example questions I could ask are below, but I for one would LOVE a mezzanine-ready image for a new droplet! This would be a real asset.

Questions/problems:
-- to run fabric commands, a fabfile.py is required, right? So we need to mezzanine-project before running fab?
-- if so, how is "fab all" properly used? "fab deploy" is also wanting to create a mezzanine folder in my home/user folder (maybe this is normal...). However, in that mezzanine folder, I keep getting errors when trying to run "fab all" or "fab deploy" no matter where I start from. Sometimes it's a missing socket.py file, sometimes a "project already exists" or it tries to create a "user" with my project name, sometimes other things...
